Casa Shalom, a Christian home for children in San Lucas, Sacatepéquez is offering help to the truly helpless. Started in 1987 by Dr. Rick and Janice Waldrop, Casa Shalom was birthed out of a vision of an orphanage that provided a home, food and education with the love of God enveloping in all aspects of their lives.
Shalom is the biblical Hebrew word which means “peace”, “well-being”, “health” and “salvation”. Since Casa Shalom opened its doors, its goal has been to offer peace and well-being to those beautiful lives God has brought to be part of its family. Children from around the country have converged on the twelve acre farm for a new life and a second chance. Casa Shalom supplies their basic needs of health care, education, food, clothing and housing in a family atmosphere of love, acceptance and discipline.
Above all, Casa Shalom provides an environment filled with God’s love with the desire that every child will come to know Him as their personal savior and friend. To learn more about Casa Shalom, please visit their website, or Facebook page.
Casa Shalom is an incredible place that shows Love, Acceptance and Appreciation for what God is doing in them.
We have visited there a number of times and would HIGHLY recommend other groups to do so as well.
God Bless !!
